NT Kenrick Ellis (knee), NT Sione Po'uha (low back), RB Bilal Powell (shoulder) and S Eric Smith (knee) are all listed as doubtful for the upcoming game against the New England Patriots. Although it's pretty certain that Powell won't suit up on Sunday. WR Clyde Gates (shoulder), C Nick Mangold (ankle), and RB Joe McKnight (ankle) are listed as questionable. Despite being listed as questionable, McKnight missed practice again on Friday and his status will be a game time decision. S LaRon Landry (heel), who missed Thursday's practice, returned to full participation Friday and was listed as probable.

RB/KR Joe McKnight, who leads the league in kickoff returns, and rookie NT Kenrick Ellis are among inactives for today's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. McKnight was listed as "questionable" for this game after injuring his elbow last Sunday. Ellis is a healthy scratch. He did not play well last week and DT Ropati Pitoitua will start in place of DT Mike DeVito who's out due to a knee injury.

Rookie NT Kenrick Ellis will start in place of injured DT Mike DeVito who will miss Sunday's game due to a knee injury he suffered last week against the Buffalo Bills. Rookie WR Jeremy Kerley will be back in action returning punts and playing in the slot receiver position. RB LaDainian Tomlinson will be back as well and could also see his role expanded. OL Vlad Ducasse (knee), who was limited in Wednesday and Thursday practice sessions, was a full participant in this morning's session and is listed as "probable."

FS Brodney Pool, RB LaDainian Tomlinson and WR Jeremy Kerley will all miss tonight's game against the Denver Broncos. WR Patrick Turner is active and expected to play despite kidney injury that he suffered against the Patriots. As Kerley can't go, WR Eron Riley, a former Bronco, will make his Jets' debut tonight. Tomlinson will be replaced by rookie RB Bilal Powell who will make his NFL debut.

FS Brodney Pool, who started last week against the Buffalo Bills, will miss tonight's game against the New England Patriots due to a sprained MCL he suffered last Sunday. The other inactives are RB Bilal Powell, WR Eron Riley, NT Kenrick Ellis, QB Kevin O'Connell, DL Martin Tevaseu, TE Shawn Nelson inactive for Week 10. The Jets will carry 10 defensive backs into this game. There will be five active defensive lineman, as both Kenrick Ellis and Martin Tevaseu are inactive.

Both DE Mike DeVito and DT Kenrick Ellis have been declared inactive for today's contest against the Buffalo Bills. DeVito will miss second straight game due to a knee injury he suffered in practice before the game against the Chargers. The rest of the inactives are RB Bilal Powell, WR Eron Riley, CB Isaiah Trufant, QB Kevin O'Connell, and TE Shawn Nelson.

RB/KR Joe McKnight was named the AFC's Special Teams Player of the Month for October. He returned 11 kickoffs for 443 yards for the month, including a 107-yard kickoff-return touchdown against the Ravens, which was also the longest play in Jets' history. McKnight’s 40.3 kickoff return average in October was the highest in the NFL. In his second season from USC, this is McKnight’s first career Player of the Month Award. He joins KR Justin Miller (October of 2006), KR Brad Smith (December of 2010) and P Tom Tupa (November of 1999) as the only Jets to earn Special Teams Player of the Month honors.

DE Mike DeVito is inactive for today's game against the San Diego Chargers and will be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie NT Kenrick Ellis, who will make his first career start. This is quite a turnaround for the rookie, as he was inactive in the first five game of the season, finally making his debut on Monday against the Dolphins. The rest of the Jets' inactives are RB Bilal Powell, C Colin Baxter, LB Garrett McIntyre, CB Isaiah Trufant, WR Eron Riley and QB Kevin O'Connell.

The New York Jets have declared RB Bilal Powell,SS Emmanuel Cook, DL Kenrick Ellis, QB Kevin O'Connell, WR Logan Payne, C Nick Mangold, OL Robert Turner inactive for Week 3. All-Pro C Nick Mangold will miss the first game of his career due to an ankle injury he suffered last week. Undrafted rookie C Colin Baxter will start in his place.

The New York Jets have declared QB Kevin O'Connell, WR Logan Payne, S Emanuel Cook, RB Bilal Powell, OT Caleb Schlauderaff, OL Rob Turner and NT Kenrick Ellis inactive for today's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookies Powell and Ellis are inactive for the second time this season.

In a rather surprising move the New York Jets declared rookie NT Kenrick Ellis inactive for tonight's game against the Dallas Cowboys. This means that the Gang Green are going into the game with only five defensive linemen. Ellis has been nursing a hamstring injury, so this could be the reason why he's out for tonight's game.

The New York Jets opened preseason in Houston last night, losing to the Texans, 20-16. The first team offense was on the field for only two series, while the starting defense played for the entire first quarter. QB Mark Sanchez, who did not have WR Plaxico Burress to throw to, completed 6 of 7 passes for 43 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. WR Santonio Holmes caught both passes thrown to him for a total of 17 yards. Recently signed WR Derrick Mason seemed to have already blended into the offense - 3 receptions for 21 yards. RB Shonn Greene had 5 carries for 32 yards, including a 19-yard run.

All six draft picks are now under contract and will be in camp, as the New York Jets agreed on a deal with NT Kenrick Ellis. Ellis, 6'5", 345 lbs, was drafted to eventually replace retired NT Kris Jenkins. Many expected him to be drafted earlier but Ellis' legal problems put some teams off. The Gang Green, as it's been the case lately, took a chance and grabbed Ellis in the 3rd round (#94 overall).

The Gang Green reched a contract agreement with their first round draft pick (#30 overall), DE Muhammad Wilkerson. The deal is $7.4M for 4 years, which includes a $3.9M signing bonus. The first three years of contract are guaranteed.

The New York Jets continued rebuilding their defensive line on Day 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft, as they selected DT Kenrick Ellis from Hampton with their 3rd round pick (#94 overall). Ellis, 6'5", 346 lbs is a good run stopper who has the size to play nose tackle. He recorded 15 tackles for loss in both his senior and junior years.
